When did you go to the dome?
21/4/2000

Who were you with?
My mum, my best friend and my grandad.

What did you do?
I went to the Body, it was really exciting because they put some sounds on through the speakers and it made you feel like you were really there. The heart was my favourite bit because it really pumped and looked like you had just taken it right from your very heart. I went into the Talk zone and got my photo took with ET. It was done by computer but it looks like he was sitting right next to you. It was very interactive and futurised. I went to Living Island and I really enjoyed it. The games were quite challenging but I got the hang of it in the end. I think they should have give you more than just two coins to spend in the arcade because there was plenty of excellent games. We went in the Home Planet, the people that dressed up as aliens weren't that convincing but the video made up for it. It was really interesting and very informative. The Millennium Jewels were really spectacular and I've never seen anything shine as much as the Millennium Star. The blue stones were beautiful and the attraction provided many interesting facts. The Learning and Work sections took my fancy. There were many different games and puzzles available and proved to be a major attraction but you didn't have to queue. The Timekeepers play area was my best attraction and fun came in bag fulls. The guns were ace and you could aim to hit anyone you wanted. Adults were allowed in so it made it extra fun but they didn't seem to mind if you hit them. There were plenty of SOFT balls so no one would get hurt. There were lots of machines so nearly everyone had one but everybody surely had a go. We had our dinner in Harry Ramsdens and it was delicious. There was food to tickle everybody's taste buds. The day out was fantastic and everybody had something to do. It is a place you could visit again and again.

What was the most impressive thing you saw or did?
The most impressive thing I saw was definitely the Body. The inside was really realistic and looked like you were really in there having a guided tour of your own body. The most impressive thing I did was playing in the Timekeepers play area. It was definitely better than any other play area I've been in!

How will this change your life?
I have gained more knowledge but it has not changed my life.
